Option to turn off 'Emotionally Mindful' - or make it a trait.

I think the game needs more opt-in, opt-out control. Things like "Stop calling me asking how I can dictate your life", or "Stop messaging me whenever I meet a new friend or get a promotion".

But above all, I hate, HATE, the emotionally mindful moodlet from Snowy Escape. Doing literally anything calm? Ok cool, your moodlets are worthless; you're forced to be 'fine' all the time.

Yes, it has a payoff. But I perhaps don't want to work towards a 12 hour buff that might impede me later. Yes, it's shunted to the back while you do high-intensity things. This has effectively made a lot of my sims and their respective routines and careers worthless unless I can micromanage their time 100%. 

Why on earth was this not a trait, like practice makes perfect?

It's awful when you spend money on content you didn't have, only to discover the game's worse for it.

    For me it was reading, painting, and a few other things I've forgotten about. I dunno if there's an occasional bug with it, because I often encounter the moodlet even if I haven't been doing any of those things. One character got it by going to work, for some odd reason. The mod I mentioned earlier, which lessens the bonuses, has worked wonders for me, but I still think it's an issue that plagues the game.

  • This moodlet is broken for me. It appears when my Sim woke up from their sleep. I feel like sleeping shouldn't warrant this +10 moodlet to appear out of nowhere? Like there's not even the +4 version first, just straight up +10. Then when I tell my Sim to "Surge Emotion" the chosen +6 moodlet from it isn't even powerful or lasting enough bc my Sim will straight up get the +4 version not even 5 mins of playing. Like how???????????

    I know it's not from the Wellness skill bc I played other household with higher Wellness skill than this house and they never get this annoying moodlet. My Sim can just be FRESHLY back from work and get this moodlet. My issue is that I can't play with x2 or x3 speed often cause I'm playing on laptop and it lags my game terribly. Sigh. 

    In short I do hate this moodlet and I'm thinking of getting a mod to disable it completely.
